En Suisse - Ch. 5 - Misc. Adventures with the Indermuhles

Here are some shots of when we were just 'chillin' at J&R's place.. In between loads of laundry and cooking, we enjoyed the sun and water!

Bathtime with the giggly girls.
We ate outside nearly every meal! Raph -our chef.. (and jam maker! What husband makes jam for his wife on his holidays!?)

The cute kid's table - along with the problematic colored plates and cups - which caused many, many heated disputes..!;)

Wonder how many laps this boy did around the house..?!

Ready for rain!

Chapter 4 - Trip to Ticino, Day 1

Saturday morning we packed our bags and headed for the Italian part of Switzerland, which is of course the part that boarders Italy.. We drove thru 2 beautiful mountain passes and stopped for lunch at Interlaken and town situated between 2 lakes. Very pretty place.. Para gliders.

Getting ready to have a pic-i-nic!

Dylan chasing bad guys or some such thing..

My Handsome and I!

Little spring on the top of one of the passes.

Crazy view.
Wild roads = wild ride!
Lots of tunnels!


Finally there! Scorching hot, so into the pool we went! (at our hotel)
Kiwis were growing on the pergola!

Ticino - Day 2

After Sunday morning mtg. (in Italian), we went for a tour of one of the three castles there..

Lovely architecture.


Inside castle - looking out.



A real old door!
Stunning arches..
Wouldn't you just love to have a house like this...!?
The third and highest castle - as seen from Carlo and Mary Helen's place. We spent Saturday evening and Sunday with them. We had terrific meals and a swim or two or three, enjoyed the turtles and relaxed in the heat! Wonderful, hospitable folks..
A vine - bougainvillea or some species related..?
Beautiful backyard..

Mumsy.
Julie and Kayla.
Mr. Turtle. He's one year old. They have about 17 bigger turtles and a few just days old, but the coolest ones were just out of their shell - in the incubation box. So tiny! Carlo is a vet and his favorite animal is, yes, the turtle!
Their table top was made from the end of a wine barrel - 150years old...Quite a big barrel it must have been!
Nevio(sp?), their youngest, showing us his tricks!
As always, Dylan with a G.U.N.!
Watching the turtles!
Julie and Mary Helen..
Carlo!

Nevio and his oboe!
